Apple’s iPhone is leading a new wave of gadgets using touch-sensitive screens that react to taps, swishes or flicks of a finger. The improvements promise to be slicker and more intuitive than the rough stomp of finger presses and stylus-pointing required by many of today’s devices.

Check this out! It is awesome (again..)!
Memo: 1 month ago I reflashed my mobile phone (Motorola V3x) and then it can read and write Chinese characters. But I found its interface rigid. So I found this forum and did some great jobs!
